What a Great Ward and Mission

We’ve been in the Huehuecalco ward for almost two months and we’ve received and incredible about of help from the members. They have wanted to take us around to know other members and bring investigators to the chapel. Today, for example, we were introduced to two ladies, both of whom were very anxious to hear the gospel. One, the sister of one of the counselors in the bishopric, said she wanted to be baptized. When there is someone new a ward member will often grab us and introduce them to us.

More than that, they treat my wife and I like family. They seem so happy to see us. Today in sacrament meeting I was supposed to be the last speaker, but the first two used up all of the time…just like my family did to me a couple of times. I feel very at home and comfortable with these people. They are so aware of us and trying to help us. What a great example they are.

For Thanksgiving our mission president and his wife invited us over to their beautiful home.  It was such blessing to share Thanksgiving with people we care about. It was the first Thanksgiving that Crhise have been away from family and it could have been pretty lonely. The mission has been very much like the Huehuecalco ward, embracing us and loving us. We love being around all of these very special people.
